The Bakersfield Californian
Gary Dwayne Baker
Oct. 7, 1942 Jan. 7, 2005

Memorial services will be held Wednesday, January 12th at 1:00 p.m., at 
Missionary Baptist Church, 1421 Wilson Road at Roberts Lane, Oildale, for Gary 
D. Baker, 62, of Bakersfield, who passed away January 7, 2005, at his home. 
Mr. Forest Hagood will officiate. 

Mr. Baker was born October 7, 1942, in Bakersfield, grew up and went to school 
in Oildale, and graduated from North High School. Gary worked in the oilfields 
for about 25 years, twelve of those for Advanced Production. For the last 12 
to 13 years, he worked as a truck driver and loved it.

Gary had a wonderful sense of humor, a very boisterous laugh, loved to tease 
and never met a stranger. He was a kind and gentle man, always concerned about 
others, even the stranger he may have just met. He was loved and respected 
very much and will be greatly missed.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elmira and Wayland. Survivors include 
his wife, Barbara Baker; twin brother, Larry Baker and wife, Carol; sister, 
Larona Benefield and husband, Wally, all of Bakersfield; brother, Don Baker 
and wife, Iris of Alaska; four children, daughter, Joy Baker of Grover Beach; 
son, Alan Baker and wife, Gloria; daughter, Shari Blazer and husband, Tim, all 
of Bakersfield; and daughter, Regina Sheldon and husband, Troy of Pismo Beach; 
granddaughter, Hailey Baker; grandsons, Aaron and Adam Blazer, all of 
Bakersfield; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to Optimal Hospice or the 
American Cancer Society.
